IMO best thing for frame pins etc that require specific Torques especially if they are against bearings is to release them and Re-Torque to the bike specifications, Don't just go around giving bolts extra Torque. Certain bikes sometimes require thread lock on specific bolts.. just whizzing around extra tightening stuff willy-nilly can break the lock... remember they are just set plastic glues really. I always put crank boots on personally. An old inner tube is good to remove the Air Can if you've not got a strap wrench, I've never ever needed to resort to a strap wrench.. Really great video with loads of useful tips.

Obviously things are packaged differently in UK than Canada or US. I work in a shop and if we get a high end mtb, like 9.8 Trek Slash, its a frame up build, including internal cable routing. The only thing installed is cranks. On a road bike, for example Trek Speed Concept, the frame is completely bare otherthan BB.

I have found this to be true. It must be a U.K health a safety thing. (British Standards?) The "complete" bikes I have recieved in the U.K are almost completely built. By comparison bikes in the U.S and eastern Europe not only come in more parts, but as a result you get all the associated instruction booklets/sticker packs and branded "bumpf".

You said I’m gonna add about ten pounds to compensate for rider gear but trust me unless you are riding a whole day epic with like a 16lbs pack it isn’t gonna make a difference. I’d say you have a 8lbs ish pack which with 2lt of water which is 4.4 lbs and your other tools and snacks is probably an average weight for a pack it isn’t going to make a noticeable difference in conjunction with the whole rider weight and bike because say if you weigh bout 160 lbs with that 30lbs bike that 190lbs so 8lbs is such a small percent of the total weight it doesn’t warrant a change in pressure.

#ASKGMBNTECH. Hi Doddy, love your work. Not sure if this is a tech question or best for GCN, but I'll ask anyway. Are their rules around bike helmets and road riding. I have a motor bike and to ride on the road my helmet needs to meet certain standards. Ie. Def no plastic clip style buckles, harder abrasion testing. Do road bicycle helmets have to meet these or is this another anomaly with cycling on the roads? Will that void insurance claims...ie - how can a cyclist claim any head injury in an accident if they are not wearing the road certified equipment as would a motor bike rider....
